In conjunction of the launch of this new FirePOWER devices range, the latest Sourcefire’s 5.1.1 software is also release to serve as the foundation to enhance network awareness and strengthen threat prevention.

Ivan shares, “The FirePOWER 7000 Series appliance lineup and the new Sourcefire 5.1.1 software features file-type detection and control, as well as security intelligence for IP reputation and blacklisting. With the new models, Sourcefire’s performance range now spans from 50 Mbps to 40+ Gbps.”

The latest FirePOWER appliance family comprises Next-Generation Intrusion Prevention Systems (NGIPS), application control, Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) models, and advanced malware protection under one universal security platform to support the industries’ evolving security needs.

“Adding advanced malware protection for FirePOWER has significantly expanded our product benefits to help local companies combat threats before, during and after an attack,” ends Ivan.
